8.6Verified guest“We arrived with tired feet and were met with warm smiles and useful city tips. The staff's friendliness made us feel at home right away. The location was perfect, close to cafes and public transport. We even enjoyed a delicious Greek pasta cooked by George, one of the staff members. The atmosphere was great, and we had a wonderful time socializing with other guests. Despite a small kitchen and limited plugs by the bed, the overall experience was fantastic. I highly recommend this hostel for its cute atmosphere and convenient location.”
8.6Verified guest“Cheap and good.”
8.6Verified guest“The staff are very kind. The kitchen was great — free stove, fridge, and cooking facilities. The toilet is a bit cramped but clean. The hot shower is available 24 hours for 50 cents per 7 minutes, which is relatively long. The room was clean, with linen, pillowcase, and blanket provided free. We got a key for the room, so we could lock the door when we went out. The hostel is in a safe and quiet neighborhood, near supermarkets like Lidl, Champion, and AB, plus a bakery where we bought fresh bread and Greek pies (feta cheese pie, spinach pie). There’s also a theater nearby. Transport is good — you can get there by trolley numbers 2, 11, and 4.”
